With a new Government at the helm, there is renewed confidence regarding the revival of the
economy, development and growth.
the importance of the travel and tourism industry is well established as it makes a
significant contribution to GDP and provides substantial employment to a wide spectrum
of job seekers. the travel and tourism industry can play an important role in development
of local infrastructure and thus promote Brand India to the world. Despite this, the
travel and tourism sector has not been taken seriously by previous Governments. the
Modi Governments emphasis on this sector as one of the pillars on which it seeks to
build Brand India is of great significance. We now hope that this sector will, at long
last, receive the serious attention that it so rightly deserves. a)
today, twice the number of people travel out of India than those who visit this country.
Despite an economic downturn and a devalued
Rupee, approximately 15 million Indians travelled to overseas destinations in
2013. India attracted only 6.8 million foreign visitors during the same period. It is
important to note that India is one of the few countries that has a negative travel account
balance - foreign exchange outflow exceeded inflow. The gap
could widen considerably with outbound Indian travellers projected to grow
to 50 million by 2020 which has been estimated by the united nations World trade
organization.
As I have stated previously, foreign visitor arrivals to India are very low when compared
to China 57 million (excluding Hong Kong), Thailand
over 22 million, Malaysia 25 million and turkey 36 million last year.
Phuket or Bali alone attract more foreign visitors than the whole of India! We must take
urgent steps to aim at a quantum increase in foreign visitors.
A target to attract at least 25 million foreign visitors
in 5 years is achievable.
the transformation of turkish Airlines during the last 5 years as an international carrier of repute
shows what can be achieved within a relatively short period of time with correct planning,
32
determination and investment. urgent steps need to be taken to transform Air India as a strategic
marketing tool to promote Brand India.
India has unrivalled Buddhist sites such as Bodh Gaya, sarnath and nalanda. these sites
have immense interest for domestic and international visitors. they could attract visitors
from new source markets such as China, Japan and south East Asia. As these
locations do not have good connectivity and adequate
tourism facilities, this market is largely untapped.
there are a wide range of factors that tarnish the attractiveness of our country as a tourist
destination; they are a lack of hygiene and sanitation in our cities and tourist destinations.
there are also concerns about law and order, especially the safety of women travellers.
Developing new hotels in our cities and tourist destinations takes far too long. urgent
steps must be taken by our state Governments to approve projects speedily. Delayed
projects increase building costs unnecessarily. the financing of hotel projects is
challenging. the typical term of 10 years for debt financing is far too short as it takes 4 to
5 years to stabilize the financial performance of new hotels. there is an urgent need to
look at loans with longer terms, say 20 years. Hotels are important infrastructure and
should be able to avail of similar tenure of debt financing as other infrastructure projects.
India spends less than 1% of its GDP on the development of the travel and tourism sector.
Countries such as singapore, Malaysia, China and thailand each spend 4% to 9% of GDP
on this important sector. the Incredible India campaign was very visible and successful.
efforts need to be sustained and enhanced so that regional source markets such as China,
south east Asia, Central Asia and the Gulf countries are targeted. tourism is reportedly
the most popular leisure pursuit amongst Chinese travellers. It is estimated that 98
million Chinese travelled overseas in 2013. We cannot afford to ignore this important
market. Raising awareness and cultivating visitors from China should be a particular
focus area for the Government and the private sector.
33
Co-ordinated action on the many issues raised by me requires
the private sector, the states and Central Government to work together as a
team. this is easier said than done. However, we must take this as a challenge so that
India gets its fair share of the tourism market.
We are encouraged that Prime Minister Modi recognises the tourism industrys
importance and has stated that his Government desires to give this sector the importance
that it so deserves. Finally, we are very optimistic that the travel and tourism industry
will get the attention that it deserves so that we can all realise our dreams.
As you see, revenues and profitability of the Company have increased compared to the
previous year. We should all be heartened that in two separate guest and reader surveys,
the oberoi Brand has been voted as the best hotel brand globally. This is a
tribute to the dedication of our staff who have
provided exceptional service to our foreign and Indian guests.
In conclusion, I thank my colleagues on the Board for their continued advice and support.
I also thank all those who work for the Company and all other stakeholders. thank you.

2. the report on Corporate Governance in accordance with clause 49 of the listing agreement along with
the auditors certificate.
the Board recommends a dividend of ` 1.10 per equity share of ` 2 in respect of
the financial year 2013-2014.
the dividend, if approved at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting, will be paid on 7th August,
2014 to shareholders whose names appear on the register of shareholders at the close
of business on 24th July, 2014. As per the Income
Tax Act, 1961, the tax on the dividend will be borne by
the Company.
the Company continued to focus on energy conservation measures during the year. Measures
include replacement of incandescent lights with low power consumption LeD lights, compact
fluorescent and IR lights, installation of motion sensors, installation of solar films to reduce heat
loads, replacement of reciprocating chillers with energy efficient VRV systems, installation of
rooftop solar power generation systems, replacement of old boilers with high efficiency boilers
and installation of high efficiency secondary treatment plants with improved recycling. Besides
these, operational measures were continued to reduce energy consumption by regulating chiller
set points according to ambient temperatures, minimizing steam consumption by optimizing

International hospitality brands. However, due to the economic slowdown, supply outpaced
demand, suppressing Average Room Rates (ARR) and reducing occupancy.
As we look to the future, the travel and tourism industry has globally emerged as one of the
fastest growing sectors, contributing significantly to economic growth and development. the
World travel and tourism Council (WttC) in its Annual economic Impact Report 2014 estimates
that the contribution of travel and tourism to the Indian
GDP will be 7.3% in 2014. This is expectedto grow by
7% p.a. reaching INR 14,000 billion by 2024.
India has potential to become a preferred tourist destination globally. the long term outlook for the
Indian hospitality industry continues to be buoyant with growth outperforming the general
economy. Inbound tourism continues to have modest growth of international tourists arrival and
receipts. However, the domestic market will see strong growth with more Indians
travelling, resultingin an expectedrevenue growth of 8.2%
in the financial year 2014-2015.
the tourism sector in India faces several issues that needs to be addressed for the sector to realize
its true potential. Visa on arrival from key markets in europe and America, safety and security of
tourists, specially women, infrastructure development, identification of new tourist destinations
and regulatory and policy changes need attention from all stakeholders.
Recently, the Government of India announced a proposal
to extend a visa on arrival scheme (VoA) for visitors from 180
countries. A proposal for an electronic travel authorization system will allow foreign travelers to
apply for a visa electronically and receive an online confirmation in five working days has also
been cleared. Presently, the VoA scheme is available to tourists from eleven countries, mainly
from south east Asia and two european countries. since its introduction, there is a continuous and
significant growth of tourist arrivals reconfirming the need
to quickly extend this facility to the identified 180 countries.
According to a study undertaken by WttC and unWto, these improvements in the Visa regime
could result in upto 6 million more international visitors traveling to India resulting in
corresponding growth in revenue and creating 1.8 million jobs over three years.
Internal control Systems and Risk Management the Company has robust internal control
systems and procedures. the Internal Audit Department (IAD) of the Company continues to
conduct periodical audits of all business units to ensure that systems and procedures are followed
across all areas under the overall supervision and guidance of an Independent Audit Committee.
the Companys Risk Management team identifies potential risks associated with the Companys
38
business and periodically keeps the Board informed of such risks and the measures taken by the
Company to mitigate such risks.

the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those

circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys
internal control.
61
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
the accounting estimates made by Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.

statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USE OF ESTIMATES
In preparing the Financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in India, Management is required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of
Financial statements and the amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Any
revision to such estimates is recognised in the period the same is determined.
PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS, EXCEPTIONAL ITEMS, EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS AND CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
prior period adjustments, exceptional items, extraordinary items and changes in accounting policies having material impact on the financial affairs
of the Company are disclosed.
FIXED ASSETS
71
tangible Assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction and in case of revaluation of assets at revalued amounts net of impairment loss if
any, less depreciation/amortisation. Cost represents direct expenses incured on acquisition or construction of the assets and the share of indirect
expenses relating to construction allocated in proportion to the direct cost involved.
Assets acquired under lease are capitalised at the present value of minimum lease payments and are stated at the capitalised value net of
accumulated depreciation.
Capital work-in-progress comprises the cost of fixed assets that are not yet ready for their intended use on the reporting date and materials at site.
Intangible Assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and net of impairments, if any. An intangible asset is recognised if it is probable
that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably.
Intangible assets having finite useful lives are amortised on straight line basis over their estimated useful lives.
DEPRECIATION

EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS
L&t Bangalore International Airport Hotel Limited ( BAHL ), a joint venture with L&t urban Infrastructure Limited started construction of a hotel
on the land alloted by Bangalore International Airport Limited ( BIAL ) pursuant to the framework agreement with them. the same had to be
abandoned due to extraordinary circumstances involving refusal by Airport Authority of India (AAI) to permit the agreed height of the building as
per Framework Agreement. BIAL also failed to honour their commitment to give additional land to compensate the reduction in height. BAHL
went for arbitration proceedings and the Arbitral tribunal gave an award directing BIAL to take over the incomplete building and pay compensation
fixed by the tribunal. BAHL accounted for the resultant loss in its accounts for the year ended 31.03.2013. Consequently, there was a diminution in
the value of Companys investments to the extent of ` 116.96 million which was shown as extraordinary item in the accounts for the year ended
31.03.2013. during the current year, BAHL and BIAL came to a mutual understanding which involved both the joint venture partners selling their
shares in BAHL to BIAL. the sale of shares have been completed, resulting in total loss of ` 182.00 million. Accordingly the balance loss of `
65.04 million has been shown as extraordinary item during the year ended 31.03.2014.

39. In the case of Mashobra resort Limited (MrL), several disputes with the Government of Himachal pradesh, the joint venture partner, were
referred by the High Court of Himachal pradesh on 17th december, 2003 to an arbitral tribunal consisting of a single arbitrator whose award
has been challenged by both the Company and MrL, amongst others. the operation of the arbitration award has been stayed pending
substantive hearing of the applications by the High Court. Consequently, the status quo ante of the entire matter stands restored to the position
as on 17th december, 2003 and the hotel is being operated by MrL accordingly. the Company vide its letter dated 4th April, 2012 requested
MrL to account for the entire amount of ` 1,361.93 Million provided to MrL upto 31st March, 2012 as Advance towards equity, including `
130.00 Million being the opening balance of Advance towards equity. In view of the above, the Company has shown the said amount of `
1,361.93 Million as Advance towards equity in its books.
An extraordinary general meeting of MrL was called on 14.10.2010 to pass a resolution for issue and offer of equity shares of MrL to the Company
against the above advance for shares. the Government of Himachal pradesh obtained a stay order from the High Court of Himachal pradesh
and the passing of the said resolution was deferred by the High Court. Consequently the issue of equity shares against the said advance has
become subjudice and dependent upon the resolution of the legal cases.
M rL is earning profits in the last couple of years and has proposed dividend for the year 2013-14. It also has accumulated funds of ` 310.48
Million in fixed deposit pursuant to Court direction.

EXTRAORDINARy ITEMS
L&t Bangalore International airport Hotel Limited ( BaHL ), a joint venture with L&t urban Infrastructure Limited started construction of a hotel on
the land alloted by Bangalore International airport Limited ( BIaL ) pursuant to the framework agreement with them. the same had to be abandoned
due to extraordinary circumstances involving refusal by airport authority of India (aaI) to permit the agreed height of the building as per Framework
agreement. BIaL also failed to honour their commitment to give additional land to compensate the reduction in height. BaHL went for arbitration
proceedings and the arbitral tribunal gave an award directing BIaL to take over the incomplete building and pay compensation fixed by the tribunal.
BaHL accounted for the resultant loss in its accounts for the year ended 31.03.2013. Consequently, there was a diminution in the value of
Companys investments to the extent of ` 116.96 million which was shown as extraordinary item in the accounts for the year ended 31.03.2013.
during the current year, BaHL and BIaL came to a mutual understanding which involved both the joint venture partners selling their shares in BaHL
to BIaL. the sale of shares have been completed, resulting in total loss of ` 182.00 million. accordingly the balance loss of ` 65.04 million has been
shown as extraordinary item during the year ended 31.03.2014.
